Upgrading the 'TeamMentor View Library Links Status’ tool to 3.3

One of the tools I developed during the 3.2 release was a window's tool that allowed the analysis and mapping of broken links in an TeamMentor library.

This tool is similar to the one I showed in this video and is on the https://github.com/TeamMentor/UnitTests repository:



Which I cloned:



locally

 

And found in the LibraryManagement folder, amongst other scripts, the TM - View Library Links Status v1.0.h2 tool:



which at the moment fails to run because of the changed web service’s



Tip: this GUI comes with a couple C# REPL helpers, for example here is how to use it to programmatically get the current WebServices URL



Then I quickly used the O2 Platform’s WSDL tool to load up the WSDL and create the updated C# file (note: this should be scripted)



The updated WSDL C# file is here:



Which I copied to:



and committed the changes:



Since there were a couple API changes, there were a couple errors on the API_TeamMentor_WebServices.cs file:



After easily fixing them:



The link checked tool works :)

Here it is running stating an analysis of the .NET 2.0 library in the https://teammentor.net server



Which looks like this when completed (ignore the Not OK for now, since for performance reasons I only loaded up the .NET 2.0 files):



For reference here are the two commits I did during this blog post (with the scripts upgrade to 3.3)
